Travis Jewett begins his third season as the Commodoresâ?TM hitting coach and recruiting coordinator after two of the most successful seasons in Vanderbilt history. The team has gone 105-33 since his arrival.

Jewettâ?TMs second Vandy team won the schoolâ?TMs first-ever national championship in 2014. The Doresâ?TM offense caught fire in the NCAA Tournament hitting .322 with 48 runs scored in the Regional and Super Regional. In Omaha, the Commodores stole a College World Series record 17 bases en route to the title.

Jewett added two more All-Americans to his list in Vince Conde and Dansby Swanson in 2014 with both infielders earning first team All-SEC honors as well. Swanson led the nation and matched the school record with 27 doubles as part of the Doresâ?TM 145 doubles as a team, the most since the 2010 team set the school record with 160. Freshman Bryan Reynolds blossomed to lead the Commodores in hitting with a .338 average and 24 doubles to garner Freshman All-American honors. Jewett has coached five All-Americans and two Freshmen All-Americans in his first two seasons on West End.

The Commodoresâ?TM offense clicked under Jewettâ?TMs guidance in 2013 with the Dores improving in virtually every offensive category hitting .313 as a team â?" 45 points higher than 2012 â?" to lead all Southeastern Conference teams. Vanderbilt also led the SEC in slugging percentage (.439), on-base percentage (.407), runs scored (459), RBI (418), triples (17), walks (295) and stolen bases (139).

Connor Harrell bounced back from a tough junior season to be the Commodoresâ?TM main source of power with a team-high 12 home runs. Harrell hit a career-best .312 while driving in 67 runs, sixth-most in school history.

Jewettâ?TMs leadership with the teamâ?TMs outfielders molded the Commodoresâ?TM outfield into one of the best in the nation in 2013 with seniors Jack Lupo, Connor Harrell and Mike Yastrzemski roaming the â?~green oceanâ?TM during the year. Harrell and Yastrzemski started all 66 games in center and right field, respectively.
